Sometimes,
when you are sad, you just want to shut the world to any one who comes your
way. You do not want others to ask
why. If sadness is felt, it really is
difficult to explain why it happened. It
just takes you without a care in the world.
I now understand those who mask their true feelings with laughter or
even just a meek smile. I guess it is
easier that way. People will be assured
that you are okay, even if deep inside you are actually not. With just one smile, you do not have to
elaborate more and that is what the people around you want. They have no idea that your smile did not
reach your eyes – not a genuine smile, not at all. But it is easier that way.
Whenever I
see an unhappy person that I know, I try my best to cheer him/her up. He/she may not open up with me, but that is
okay, it is his/her right to keep mum about it.
By making him/her happy even just for a few seconds is my way of spreading
happiness, hoping that it becomes contagious and will eventually put a smile on
his/her face. I am not asking for a
genuine smile right away for I know that every thing actually takes time. I have done my part in giving out positivity
to that person and it is now up to him/her to fabricate such into his/her
system.
Sadness is
not long-term. There are times when you
have to feel it to appreciate happiness – for us to see and realize the things,
the people, and the events that made us happy.
It pains to see someone forlorn, let alone experience it first
hand. But that is how great life can get
– we are given chances and choices. Take
every chance you get and always choose where your heart wants to be. It is easier that way. ;)
